'There's a growing awareness that for the good of their health,
children need to be out and about more, with their friends,
exploring the outdoor world in their own way.' - Nicola Butler,
Director of the Free Play Network It is widely acknowledged that
children today do not get outdoors often enough and there are
serious concerns about children's activity levels and rising
associated behavioural, mental and health problems. With such
structured and technology-driven lives, it is easy for young
children to stay indoors, play on computers and not socialise with
other children in a healthy and active way. This book not only
supports 'playing out' as an integral part of children's natural
growth and development, but also provides early years workers with
a full programme of outdoor physical activities to promote
physical, social and behavioural skills. This book is a guidebook
to setting up an outdoor physical activity programme in any early
years setting. The book focuses on how getting outdoors and taking
part in physical activities will provide children with positive fun
experiences to enhance their general learning and development. The
programme can be adapted to suit any timescale - from a whole term
to one or two days. Key features include showing practitioners: how
to make the most of their outdoor area for all children step by
step explanations to the outdoor activities how to engage
participants (including parents) how to set up and plan activities
ideas for group and individual assessment how to carry out risk
assessments how an outdoors programme can change children's lives
for the better.
